about
Traditional song, with collaged sounds of a tractor ploughing on the fields (29/03), voice and whistling (’Springtime Again’ by Sun Ra).
lyrics
Oh the lark in the morning
She rises from her nest
And she flies above the meadow
With the dew upon her breast
And like a pretty ploughboy
She’ll whistle and sing
And at night she will return to her own nest again.
